A nurse is providing teaching with an antepartum client who has a new diagnosis of genital herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A. HSV-2 can cause neonatal herpes, which may result in serious complications or fetal demise if transmitted at delivery. B. Tight-fitting undergarments can increase moisture and irritation; clients should wear loose cotton underwear to promote healing. C. The risk of neonatal transmission is highest when active lesions or viral shedding are present at the time of vaginal delivery. D. Antiviral medications (e.g., acyclovir) suppress viral replication and reduce outbreaks and shedding but do not eradicate the virus.
